station he became abusive and attempted
TO strike Officer Wright, so charge of
assaulting an officer was entered against
him in addition to that Of participating
in an ARRAY for which he and Horne
were held.

minal affairs have attracted more atten-

than anything else. There is not likely

only to vote them to be his own success
sor US president. Last week an effort
was made TO secure the cooperation of
enough stockholders to oust him from
the presidency, but it fell through, owing
to the refusal of the men who were
asked TO become his successor. II was
on the programme that Hon. Tohn IL. In
man should be president of the Rich
mond and Danvillc, but he positively
declined. His friends at once tried to
get rid of their stock, but all active OPP

When the nomination of Secretary Lamar

Court is taken up in the Senate, says the
New York Times Washington correspond
ent, there will be some objections raised to
his confirmation among the Republicans
but there Is every reason to believe that
when the vote is taken the negatives will be
very few. The objections will be mainly on
account Of Mr. Lamars age, but one or Two
Senators whose memories still dwell upon
the rebellion are expected TO find fault with
him because he went out Of the Union with
his State. .The, Democrats will support him
need vote for him to insure his conirma-
ton. He Is sure to receive more than that
